Captain America

Just saw Captain America at Regal cinemas Atlantic Station and I was pleasantly surprised! Chris Evans literally transforms himself by adding over 20 pounds of muscle to play the part. But playing the role as a younger character wasn’t as easy. So producers used CGI to thin him down even more and the finished effect is great! I had no idea but said leaving the theater that “Wow, they casting was great, both actors looked so much alike!” Take a look at Chris “before” the serum was administered:

And then workout and diet extensively to add 20 pounds of pure muscle and look like this:

Evans told USA Today Weekend: “I said to Joe [Johnston, director], “Look, I know we want this to look good and this effect to not be distracting from the film, but it has to be my performance. I don’t want to share this. Your body is a huge piece of the acting puzzle, and I don’t want to have somebody else’s body tell the story that I’m trying to tell.’ So they did some tweaking and they did a bunch of tests and we went back to the initial plan to shrink my body.”
